I guess it has been mentioned already but there's just so many posts around here so I most likely missed it.
Anyway I just found a bronze shield with Armor +10 (vs. Lightning attacks). This is new right?

Nope. Mods like this have been around for a long time (forever?). I've had an eternal with armor +10 v lightning for months. I believe it is just skins that have gotten updates, not stats to existing skins.

As far as the mention in the scribe about the weapons being sold to individuals, that is most likely a reference to the collectors/weapons crafters that are selling the new skins.

You've already posted complaining about the size of that sword, we get it already.... you want a big huge ginormous sword.
And I'll post it as many more times as it takes to get the point across that there are only 2-3 sword options for me unless I want rediculous looking female warriors. The swords don't have to be "Ginorous" - But I'd like for them to be decently rendered and fit the size and shape of the average warrior. Its crazy how right now you have to carry a Fellblade or Brute Sword (not the best skins either) just to look like you are holding anything other than a BUTTER KNIFE.

Ahh my bad then. Think this was the first time I got a mod like that on a gold shield.

here's a thought.....just go to guru auctions and check out each of the categories....I just checked out swords and bows and the grinning recurve bow and jade sword are listed so, check out the other categories to see if there are any other new weapons/stuff

Shields with ONE specific damage reduction has been around forever I think.

I have a couple ancient ones on my mule from over a year ago with those kind of modifiers (I think it's a "-7 piercing" and a "-8 fire").

I think the chests near Outcasts enemies and Wardens has a chance of dropping these new weapons.

Outcasts and Wardens drop the Jade Sword and the Guardian of the Hunt respectively. No one's said where they found the daggers yet, but so far every new skin has dropped in a different place.

Not sure I understand the connection to use in Elona, but so far I've found Lotus Staves with req's in Ritualist, Monk, Necromancer and Elementalist attributes from the collectors in and around post-HzH Kurzick outposts, all 20/20 so far.
As for the thing a few pages back about creators being awarded a perfect version of their weapon, I'd love to get a perfect gold Lotus Staff, since they currently seem to be collector-only (I'd love to get a global 10/10 for my Mesmer, but there don't seem to be Mesmer req or 10/10's available right now).

Mesmer 20/20s are outside Durheim on the Morostav side. But only two of the three mes attributes are there.

no this means the ones that the collectors have. Those are the items that were sold to individuals instead of being distributed to the army

this is in-regards to this quote:

"Other weapons are apparently being sold off to individuals, rather than in bulk to a particular army"

The problem with caster gear is that the wand offhand combo looks crap yet is so much better then using a staff. So even if great staffs do drop for monks etc, no-one will actually use them in regular play because they can get better elsewhere via collectors using the wand./offhand combo etc.

Decent wands/offhands just don't seem to ever drop - and the skins aren't that great for them really. No wonder all the monks use totem axes, +5 energy katanas or other assorted warrior items :P
